ir_cow Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 so i ended up selling my 4870 for a V3750 (well worth the money but still not cheap enough) and i thought just like all other ati cards these can be flashed also. i got to thinking from long ago when you could flash 1950xt to v7350s (or softmod) now i'm thinking i might try it again with the new Firepros. i ordered a 4670 from newegg and monday i'll see if i can flash it. if not no worries i'll just sell it on ebay. if i can i'll be making a guide here shortly for all FireGls and FirePros. ]In the end it didn't work, the HD4xxx will show no improvement after being flashed to the counterpart card using the bios. (maybe softmodding doesn't even work anymore). what i do know is if you have a HD3xxx and the counterpart card is should work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_cow Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 to us graphic artist these firepros are to die for. but i'm hoping to later flash a 4870 to a firepro...mmHHMMMMmmm. anyways this cuts the cost in half. because each 8750 cost $1300 get to 4870s and flash them for a total of $400 or less. the v3750 not so much it cost $170 and the 4670 cost $70.

ir_cow Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 booting from cd? yeah that works but than i can't run any programs and also how am i suppose to get dos on it?. really its 10x easier to install windows than to try to make a bootable flash drive (i spent hours and it just doesnt work). stupid windows vista..makes me want to switch back to win64 again.
